     G#        C#            G#
Accidentally I saw you this morning
          D#7                            G#
You were lovely dressed in your wedding gown
                       C#          G#
And they say that you married a stranger to me
     A#7                        D#7
That had drifted to our old hometown

    G#              C#             G#
Accidentally you've met him one evening
        D#7                       G#
And you say it was love at first sight
     C#                      G#
Accidentally on purpose you married
     D#7                     G#
Accidentally on purpose for spite

Chorus:
         C#                   G#
Cause I saw out cheatin' and runnin' around
   A#7                        D#7
And I was just a fool with a heart of a clown
    G#        C#          G#
Accidentally you were mistaken that night
     D#7                     G#
Accidentally on purpose for spite - x2
